"This issue is connected with corruption and not with any freedom struggle. Lalu Yadav will not get any advantage by projecting this issue as a freedom struggle. The law is doing its job. If he has any problem with the law, then it is for the court there to answer," Naqvi told ANI.

The Bihar Government has already denied being intimated in advance about the raids conducted Lalu Yadav and his family.

A Bihar Government press release said reports in circulation that said that prior information was given about the raids to senior officials was baseless.

"The information regarding the same was given to the Bihar Director General of Police after the CBI raids had begun, following which necessary arrangements were made," the press release stated.

On Friday, the CBI registered a corruption case against Lalu Yadav, his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejaswi Yadav; former Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) Managing Director P.K. Goyal; and the wife of Lalu's confidante Prem Chand Gupta, Sujata on allegations of awarding the tender for development, maintenance and operation of hotels in Ranchi and Puri in 2006.
